That momentum carried into Saturday's game with Eastern.

Northwest College blew open the first game with an early 6-0 run, used a 7-1 surge to take control midway through game two and reeled off a streak of 13 out of 14 points to wrap up the victory.

Northwest College travels to Riverton on Wednesday for the start of the Region IX North volleyball tournament. The Trappers face Western Wyoming in a 6:30 p.m. contest to begin tournament play.

The Region IX North tournament will run through Saturday on the campus of Central Wyoming College in Riverton. The Region IX North tournament champion earns a place at the NJCAA national championship tournament.
